Title: ?'s on settings for LD mics
Post by: 1st set only on January 12, 2004, 12:24:29 PM
I have been recording mostly with the blumein pattern with my set of Behringer B2-Pro mics. my question is what about the settings on the back one is a -10 db cut and the other is a low frequency roll off. when is it advisable to use either of these settings? Im more interested in the low freq roll off.  the switch looks like this
---  (switch) ---
                        \

how do i tell if it is on or not?

yah its often referred to as the bass rolloff, basically when your bass is super overpowering in a show.  Think Claypool, think electronica, basically where that bass is causing a huge spike in your recording.

My rule for using a high pass setting is if the bass is hitting you in the chest, use it.

if your switch is showing a flat line, then it is off.
I use it when there may be too much boominess or if the bass is just going to be too intense.
